WTF? Let me get this straight - you pretend to be someone you're not, spout a bunch of bullshit, and then *complain* that someone informed your sifu of your little impersonation? No honor among martial artists, indeed.

There are no wrong threats, only wrong answers. (Strategy game truism)

I have been studying with these guys in Military style combat for 4 years...

I would just like to take this opportunity to apologise to Sifu Mateus for any confusion caused ........

Seems one of you honourable gentlemen(NOT!) ... Backstabbed me and E-mailed this discussion to Mateus.. Cheers guys, i guess there is No honour amongst martial artists...

:binkybaby

Ha, ha, serves you right you bitch. I hope you feel ashamed whatever the true situation is. Whether you really are that Mateus or one of his students or whatever. All you have done is post a load of bullshit. You cannot be trusted and I dont think anyone has or ever will believe a word you say, you spineless, slip of a man.

If you call **** on a gym or instructor you invite them to the debate.

That way they can defend themselves or look stupid

For a really good example put Satori in our search. Very interesting how BS was called on a gym, the instructor was informed, he came on and defended his art. In the end the instructor actually made the BS caller look like BS.

For a negative outcome for a gym look at Cajun street boxing Keuichi-Do. 2bannings were the result and fraud is close to being called on the instructor.

In both cases instructors were informed and allowed to put up or STFU.

I thought it would be fair to get the real Mateus' opinion. I contacted him. This is what he replied:

"Interesting debate, the guy is called Southy, always spouting off about the
military, as for the ninjas on the website, bit of fun that's all.. I don't
like to post self promoting images on the website so replaced them with
martial archtypes, that way if a prospective student says "I wanna be a
ninja" you can show them the door.

Bullshido seems cool, rooting out the BS in martial arts, all for it, Im not
aware of southy being in the military or a doctor, he is only 23 years old
and doesn't train as much as he should. We have sparring sessions every
night after class for those that want to, he did turn up for one, obviously
didn't like it, stated that same fact that's in the discussion (about its
not fighting) and hasn't been to another sparring session since.

I doubt ill see him again after this fiasco..

Regards,

Mateus

P.S If he thinks he is me and you guys wanna expose him, ask him wing chun
question.I believe he has never studied Wing chun under any Sifu.."

Very interesting. The real Mateus seems a geniune enough fella.

Southy, on the other hand is a 23 year old bullshitter, niether a doctor or in the army with a couple of months of training under his belt.

Hey, I know this was posted a long time ago but was wondering if anyone's been in contact with Mateus or has trained with him? I used to train with him in a class and privately in 2006 (I think!), I went to look him up again and the website is down and I have no way of finding out if he still teaches...
By the way, glad it seems to be sorted that the original post wasn't Mateus, he's an intelligent guy and seriously doubt he'd post something so badly written! And also, his real name is Matthew Owens I believe.
Thanks to anyone that replies!
